Final Chapter Return to History
The shipwreck accident did not have any impact on the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. On the contrary, after the shipwreck, domestic shipbuilding companies shouted to build larger and safer large shipping ships. No one cared about the whereabouts of Xingzhen and his group, and they were already dead.
The cold war between Xiao Yungui and his wife did not last long, because the second prince Xiao Youfu proposed to study abroad. Of course, the couple couldn't bear to leave, but it was useless to persuade him. What the kid believed would not change easily. So Xiao Youfu left China, and when he was twelve, he left his parents and went to Europe to study. This study abroad lasted for ten years. After traveling to various European countries, Xiao Youfu returned to China at the age of 22 and began to join the Royal Academy of Sciences as a research professor.
In the Royal Academy of Sciences, Xiao Youfu was as good as a fish in water. His lifelong research included electromagnetics and electronics, and became a great inventor in China. The new explosives, electric lamps and other items he invented in his life applied for patents. Later, he used the patent fee to set up a special bonus to reward people in the world who have contributed to scientific research. Of course, Xiao Youfu Prize is different from the Nobel Prize in later generations. He has no prejudice and has set up special bonuses for the subject of mathematics.
After the incident in the Qing Dynasty came to an end, Xiao Yungui began to lead the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into a period of rapid golden development. Domestic industry and commerce were developing rapidly, and newly built railways and factories were everywhere. Minerals were being developed in many places, and national strength was further steadily improved.
During the American Civil War and the Prussian War, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made a large amount of war wealth. In the Japanese War of Confucianism, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sucked away the last little blood of Japan. More than 70% of Japan's gold and silver flowed into China at that time. As a result, Japan's reform movement was delayed for a full twenty years. When Japan found that it was half a century behind China, they were no longer able to catch up, and the situation in the country that was always unstable made Japan a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, as miserable as China in the same period in later generations.
In 1885, after twenty years of rest and recuperation, China completed basic industrial transformation and began to enter a modern industrial power, and Russia also completed domestic reforms. After the changes brought about by development, war broke out between the two sides in the battle for control of Central Asia. In July of that year, Russia began to send troops to intervene under the pretext of civil strife in the Kazakh Khanate. Then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom announced that Russia's behavior was to invade a country and immediately went to war with Russia.
At this time, after twenty years of development, the railways leading to Xinjiang, Mongolia and other places have been completed, and Shi Dakai is still the leader in Xinjiang. Shi Dakai, who is nearly 50 years old, led the Northwest Taiping Army to resist Russia's retaliatory invasion. At this time, the Northwest Taiping Army received a steady supply of arms and materials from the mainland, and the war tilted towards the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the beginning, because at this time the Russian railway had not been built into Central Asia. In later history, Russia was 18
In 1879, the narrow-gauge railway from Turkumbashi to Kizil Alvat began to be built, in 1886, in Samarkand, in 1888, and in 1898, the railway section from Tashkent to Anjiyan in this time and space was much later. In 1885, Russia began to build a narrow-gauge railway from Turkumbashi to Kizil Alvat, and it was only started. Construction has not started yet.
Therefore, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which mastered the major artery of supply and transportation, took the initiative. They continuously obtained troops, arms and materials from the mainland, while Russia suffered a great loss of supply difficulties. The two sides fought a war on the territory of the Kazakh Khanate for three years, investing more than one million troops. In the end, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom won the army and Russia lost more than 300,000. Finally, it was the final truce with the mediation of Britain, France and other countries. Through the war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom further stabilized the situation in the northern border. Looking at the Asian region, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the largest power.
In the Nanyang region, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also began colonization. In 1889, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Spain broke out in war on the control of the Philippines. Through the war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom acquired the Philippines colony and further stabilized the control of the Nanyang. Then, in 1893, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom invaded Hawaii and overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a foothold in the Pacific Ocean and further pushed the national defense circle out.
In 1895, Xiao Chaogui, the founding emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of China, was critically ill. On his dying day, he issued an edict to pass the throne to the eldest prince Xiao Youhe. At this time, the cabinet was already the auxiliary government of Wang Kaiyun. Under the stability of him and Empress Dowager Hong Xuanjiao, Xiao Youhe successfully ascended the throne.
Xiao Chaogui led the military and civilians of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to overthrow the decadent Qing Dynasty rule and opened the door to modern times for this ancient country. However, he was not complete in his country. After the emerging bourgeois forces developed to a certain extent, they also began to expose the problem of injustice in distribution. The injustice in distribution and the rise of the working class laid hidden dangers for the country's transformation. But he had already done enough in his life, just as he held Hong Xuanjiao's hand and said, "I can only do this in my life. Next, it depends on how people do it later, but I think the least it is not enough to let the country fall into the same level as in the same period of our previous life."
After Xiao Yungui's death, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to embark on an unstable path, and the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in China became increasingly prominent. Fortunately, Xiao Yungui passed away, and Hong Yuner was there. In 1898, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom carried out constitutional monarchy reforms, and the emperor's power was further weakened, which further met the requirements of all forces in the country. However, in 1910, the Empress Dowager Hong Xuanjiao and Wang Kaiyun also passed away one after another. Without the reminder of this mother of the country and the wise prime minister, Xiao Youhe, the second emperor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, let go. During World War I, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom joined the allies and formed an alliance with the Prussia, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and fought against Britain, France, Russia and other countries.
Of course, history is always surprisingly similar. World War I ended with the defeat of the Allies. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as the defeated country, broke out in the revolution. The proletariat in the country rose and demanded the abolition of the emperor and the establishment of a new republic. So the ancient country returned to its original historical trajectory. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, the domestic proletarian forces finally overturned the imperial system and established a new republic. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only passed on the throne and perished, which was a little longer than the history of the Republic of China in history. Of course, this was something that Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner knew about.
Time went back to the time when Xiao Yungui was dead in 1895. After arranging the edict of passing the throne and the arrangements for all the important officials, Xiao Yungui asked Hong Yun'er to stay alone, so the couple naturally had something to say.
Looking at her husband who was already covered in white hair and dying, Hong Yun'er's tears kept spinning in her eyes. Xiao Yungui's old big hand held Hong Yun'er's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Don't cry, birth, old age, sickness and death are common. Maybe I'm going to travel through my soul again."
Hong Yun'er cried and said, "You'll leave first, where will I find you after a hundred years?"
Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "I only now understand what the monk said to me before crossing Jizu Mountain. Things are impermanent. Who can know what will happen next? As long as we follow our own hearts and do our best, maybe Si Xuan, Qingyun and the others are waiting for me in another world. Maybe I will go there first and wait for you there."
Hong Yuner burst into tears and said, "Agui, I will definitely come to find you. We will be together in the next life and will never be separated."
Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said, "Yes, we are a meeting with each other and hate, and we will always be together. Yun'er, let's take our secrets to the ground."
Hong Yun'er held Xiao Yungui's hand and nodded with tears in her eyes. Xiao Yungui's eyes began to scatter. He murmured to himself: "Yun'er, are you doing enough when we come to this time and space? I can only achieve this level in my life. Next, it depends on how people can continue to do it later, but I think the least it will not let the country fall into the same level as in our previous life."
Hong Yuner gently stroked Xiao Yungui's cheek and said softly: "You have done a good job. When future generations mention us, they will no longer say why we have lost so much territory. If you are tired, just go to bed..."
On that day, Xiao Yungui passed away, and the whole country was mourning. Historians of later Republics once said when studying the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that no matter what the second emperor did later, at least the founding emperor of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom laid the foundation for a prosperous republic later. It was precisely because of the efforts of him and Hong Xuanjiao, the founding mother of the country, that the territory of the Republic was expanded to the maximum extent and gained greater living space for future generations...
The death of the mother of the country in 1910 was the whole country mourned. Later historians once said that the mother of the country was a role model for women in the new century. She did a lot to liberate women and fight for women's rights. She was also one of the founders of the strong republic...
Another parallel space and space have the same universe, the same Milky Way, the same solar system and the earth. On the earth, there is also a country called China. In this country's Beijing University, a group of new students were welcomed on this day. Among the freshmen, there was a girl wearing glasses and looking unfair. She was squeezed out of the registration point and could not squeeze in at all. Just when she was confused and helpless, a whistle rang behind her: "Beauty, do you need help?"
Turning around, he was a boy who was older than her, dressed very richly. When the boy saw her appearance, he immediately frowned and said, "Damn, why are he a dinosaur wearing glasses?"
The girl was very angry, stepped on him hard, and said angrily: "Why are you so rude?"
The boy was trampled to tears and his nose was flowing. The girl clapped her hands and smiled, "I still have a runny nose when I'm so big. I deserve it!"
The boy snorted, wiped his tears and snot, and looked at the girl with some surprise, saying, "I am a senior in the third year. Why do you, the new junior, feel a very familiar feeling? I was not angry when I was stepped on by you."
"Yes, I have this feeling too. If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to step on someone's feet for the first time I met..." (To be continued)
